I don’t know lots about boat racing, but when there is a “Formula One” class, I’m going to assume it is pretty serious business. From what I can gather about the engine that serves as the centerpiece of this video, it is a highly modified 2.5L Mercury Marine used in the Formula class to power [...]

Just when you thought it was safe to go outside we have great video showing a glimpse of the newest project from the group of wacky geniuses that brought us the Postman Pat van. Sticking with their “smaller is cooler” theme, Tom Armitage and the boys have constructed a small slingshot dragster that uses the [...]

Recently our buddies John Hunkins and Steve Dulcich hit the world renown dyno at Westech Performance in California for a three way camshaft test that we’re thinking you’ll see in the pages of an upcoming issue of Popular Hot Rodding. The good thing for those of us favoring instant gratification is that the guys had a [...]

There’s awesome and then there is TOTALLY FRIGGIN’ AWESOME. This video, featuring a 2,200hp dyno pull from a 510ci Pontiac engine equipped with a ProCharger F3 falls in the latter category. This has to be one of the most powerful Pontiac engines on Earth. We know that there are some guys running nitro through Ponchos [...]

It has been a good long while since we supplied you with some serious dyno scream video. Today we’re getting back on the wagon with that by telling you to click on the video below and listen to the sweet, sweet music created by this 357ci super stock engine that makes its peak power between [...]

Big motor plus small car always equals fun but when the small car is a cool little old school Japanese job and the engine is a 420ci Cleveland headed  Ford small block, we’re talking real fun! This video was made in Australia at a dyno/tuning day for this race car which can normally be found [...]

If you don’t check out Speed Hunters either on their site or their FB page, you are cheating yourself. Those guys do some killer work and profile bad ass cars from all over the world. This Volvo Amazon that has been fitted with a blown, gasoline burning, 331ci Hemi, straight axle, and a whole bunch [...]

You may remember our buddy Chris Adams’ 1992 Crown Vic from the pages of Car Craft a couple years ago where it starred in a story called The Rocket Couch. With a supercharged two-valve Ford modular engine, the car was a great sleeper and ran fast enough to hold its own. Chris has a business [...]

Once Chad sees this video, he won’t be able to walk around in public for days. This 762ci monster on the dyno at Reher Morrison racing engines belts out 1595hp and 1235 ft/lbs of torque. They pull the big mill to 8,000 RPM and peak power comes at 7,500. Peak torque is made at 5,700 [...]

We happened to stroll into Westech Performance Group the other day, and John Mihovetz and the Accufab crew were there testing a 5.4L Cobra Jet Engine. After exchanging the normal “They’ll let anyone in here!” and “Will this Ford actually turn this Superflow Dyno?” comments, we decided to hang out and watch the mod motor [...]

While we all like to marvel at cool twin turbo setups on drag cars and stuff, the guys who run professional level pulling tractors have been doing insane things with turbos for decades before the drag guys got their stuff handled. Most of the really heavy duty tractors that pull in classes where diesel engines [...]

Goodwin Competition Race Engines is a big Wisconsin outfit that builds big power for guys in drag racing, off road racing, truck pulling, and virtually anything else that requires blunt force trauma in the form of cubic inches and horsepower. In this video we see one of their engines, a 650ci Hemi get put to [...]

While the 9,000 rev dyno pull we showed you the other day was really neat, this 10,000 rpm scream to the horsepower heavens is even cooler. The engine on the pump is a 355ci SB2 style Chevy and it makes a reported 950hp while bending the tach needle over like a rotary engine. The sound [...]

The other day we showed you a custom built V-twin that spun to 12,000 RPM and made 120hp which was designed for use in modified garden tractor pulling. Today we’re showing you another small engine destined for a pulling garden tractor but this is a single cylinder, flathead job that will be used in a [...]

Tractor pulling, in all of its various forms is pretty serious business. Sure the big diesel super stocks get lots of glory and we always pee a little when we see a machine with multiple blown engines, turbines, or radial airplane motors running down the course, but the guys who pull highlight modified garden tractors [...]

Well here’s one that the Ford boys car throw back at all those Chevy rat motor devotees. In this dyno video from Precision Racing Engines, you’ll see a single four barrel equipped big block Ford engine that displaces 605ci makes over 1100hp and something like 800 lb/ft of torque on the dyno. The mill has [...]
